The Importance of Waterproof Fabrics

Think back to your childhood memories. Do you remember the feeling of a wet snow suit after playing in the snow for a long time? Unpleasant, isn't it? For a child (and for yourself), this heavy and cold feeling makes you want to go home, change and warm up.


Even in the middle of winter, humidity and rain can be present. A snow suit with a good waterproof index is therefore necessary to face the vagaries of the weather, but above all, to enjoy the joys of winter.

Good Thermal Insulation, an Essential

A well-dressed and comfortable child has no problem playing outside and creating memories, even at -30 degrees Celsius. A coat that keeps your child warm is probably the most important element to consider when buying a snow suit.


And even though we all know the rigor of our Quebec winters, remember the good old saying: "There is no bad temperature, there are only people badly dressed."

A Loose Fit for More Movement

When buying your child's snow suit, think about the freedom of movement they will need. Kids move a lot when playing outdoors and won't be comfortable if they are too constricted in their suit.


A relatively loose-fitting snow suit also allows for layers to be added and equipment adjusted according to the temperature and activity, which is very convenient.

The Role of an Effective Liner

The liner is an important factor to consider when purchasing a snow suit for a child. Ideally, choose a soft and comfortable liner that will keep your child warm and also prevent skin irritations.

Choose a Quality Product

When shopping for a snow suit, take a look at the quality of the product. For example, are the zippers strong and easy to manipulate for your child?


This reflex will help you avoid having to buy a new suit at the end of the season because the one you bought is too worn out, or even worse, having to buy a second suit in the middle of winter because the first one does not fit. Wish to see it all?  It's here

High Quality Accessories to Keep Warm

If you have finally found the perfect snow suit for your child, don't forget to also choose high quality accessories. As the extremities of the body cool off faster, they need to be well protected.


When choosing tuque, mittens, neck warmers and boots, keep in mind that they should also be of good quality so your child can be comfortable from head to toe.

Try Before You Buy

For this type of purchase, it is highly recommended to come and try on in store. Your child will be able to try on various models and choose, with you, the one that fits them the best.

Adequate and Useful Adjustments

Every child is different. When you are shopping, don't forget to look for the different adjustments available for certain snow gear:

  • Adjustable waistband with elastic cord
  • Adjustable hood
  • Adjustable cuffs

These features allow your child to be comfortable, while adapting to their growth and daily movements.

Reinforcements in the Right Places

A child in the snow, they move around! Notice if the snowsuit has reinforcements, especially at the knees and in the back. Note that the fabric used should be abrasion-resistant to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

An Easy Interview

Yes! Even snow suits need to be cleaned. To keep your child's ensemble looking its best, it's important to follow different cleaning tips for snow suits. 


Now you're all set to find the perfect snow suit for your child.
